Attachments:	Setting a name for a partition in Dolphin Dowload popup in Firefox does not use the user-defined partition names

Setting a name for a partition in Dolphin

SUMMARY
Firefox should use the names of the partitions that are defined by the user in Dolphin.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a name for a partition in Dolphin (see the attached screenshot)
2. In Firefox (I guess this is the same on other webbrowsers), click right on a HTML page and select "Save as...".
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
A download popup shows up and ask you where you want to save your file. The partition names on the left side are different from the ones defined in Dolphin. Firefox uses the default partition names, not the user-defined names.

EXPECTED RESULT
It would be nice to have the same partition name in Dolphin and webbrowsers.

That's KFilePlaces in KIO, re-assigning

The second screenshot depicts the GTK/GNOME dialog, which of course as a KDE person I find decidedly inferior to the KDE one, and I guess you agree :) KDE doesn't have control over GTK or Firefox, so I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about this.

If you run Firefox in a Flatpak, then it will be forced to use KDE's dialog, so that's a potential workaround.
